locations whilst using a hearing aid or cochlear implant to determine if there is any interfering noise. Consult
your service provider or the device manufacturer for information on hearing aid compatibility. If you have any
questions about return or exchange policies, consult your service provider or phone retailer.
• The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has established requirements for digital wireless mobile
devices to be compatible with hearing aids and other hearing assistive devices.
• The wireless telephone industry has developed a rating system to assist hearing device users, reviewing the
compatibility of mobile devices with hearing devices.
• The ratings are not guaranteed. Results will vary depending on the user’s hearing device and hearing loss. If a
user’s hearing devices happens to be vulnerable to interference, the user may not be able to use a rated
phone device successfully. Testing the mobile device with a hearing device is the best way to evaluate if it is
suitable for a user’s personal needs.
• The FCC has adopted HAC rules for digital wireless phones. These rules require certain devices to be tested
and rated under the American National Standard Institute (ANSI) C63.19-2011 hearing aid compatibility
standards. The ANSI standard for hearing aid compatibility contains two types of ratings:
• M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to generate less interference to
hearing devices than mobile devices that are not labelled. M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.
• T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to work better with a hearing device’s
telecoil (“T Switch” or “Telephone Switch”) than unrated phones. T4 is the better/ higher of the two ratings.
(Note not all hearing devices have telecoils in them.) The tested M-Rating and T-Rating for this device (FCC ID:
ZL5S42), M3 and T4.
EMERGENCY CALL
This device can be used for emergency calls in the service area. The connection, however, cannot be
guaranteed in all conditions. The device should not be relied on solely for essential communications.
CE SAR COMPLIANCE
This device meets the EU requirements (1999/519/EC) on the limitation of exposure of the general public to
electromagnetic fields by way of health protection.
The limits are part of extensive recommendations for the protection of the general public. These
recommendations have been developed and checked by independent scientific organizations through regular
and thorough evaluations of scientific studies. The unit of measurement for the European Council’s
recommended limit for mobile devices is the “Specific Absorption Rate” (SAR), and the SAR limit is 2.0 W/ kg
averaged over 10 gram of tissue. It meets the requirements of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing
Radiation Protection (ICNIRP).
For body worn operation, this device has been tested and meets the ICNIRP exposure guidelines and the
European Standard EN 62209-2, for use with dedicated accessories. Use of other accessories which contain
metals may not ensure compliance with ICNIRP exposure guidelines.
SAR is measured with the device at a separation of 5 mm to the body, while transmitting at the highest
certified output power level in all of the device’s frequency bands.
The highest reported SAR values under the CE regulatory for the phone are listed below:
Head SAR: 0.947W/kg, Body SAR: 1.206W/kg, Limbs SAR: 2.029W/kg
